Chapter 477: The Soul-Killing Hall's First Assassin, Shadow Taoist, Puppet Master, Ten Thousand
The Star Guardian cast by Xuan Cang not only steadily withstood the combined attack of a group of puppets, but also magically isolated their spiritual consciousness.
Those puppets that were originally controlled suddenly became like puppets with broken strings. They lost the ability to move and stood in place neatly, motionless, as if frozen in time.
Seeing this, Wang Bin flashed and used instant steps to come to the side of the old man in the late Nascent Soul stage.
His eyes were cold and he threw a punch without hesitation. A powerful force burst out instantly and the old man's body exploded under this punch.
However, what was unexpected was that the old man's body appeared thirty meters away.
Before he could react, Wang Bin followed like a shadow and punched him hard, knocking the old man to pieces again.
This old man seemed to have some strange ability, and he appeared again thirty meters away.
Unfortunately, in front of Wang Bin, all this is in vain.
Wang Bin’s speed is extremely fast, even faster than the average cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
For a mere Yuanying realm puppet of an old man, no matter how powerful its methods are, as long as its speed cannot keep up with Wang Bin and its defense cannot withstand Wang Bin's fists, no matter how many punches it receives, it will only take one punch.
The third time, Wang Bin’s fist hit the old man hard with the force of thunder.
This time, the old man's puppet had no chance of escape. Its entire body was completely blown up and turned into fragments scattered on the ground.
In the air, only a soul in the late Nascent Soul stage remained.
Wang Bin's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the soul. He held it in his hand, squeezed it gently, and it dissipated into the air.
What’s strange is that this old man’s puppet actually has a soul after death, and it doesn’t look like its original body, and its appearance is very strange.
Wang Bin didn't think much about it and simply crushed it.
"The people are thirty miles outside the city, and it seems that these puppets all have souls. You humans are really powerful! Tsk tsk!"
Xuan Cang stood aside, watching everything happening in front of him with great interest, and couldn't help but sigh.
He and Wang Bin both possessed combat power at the Spirit Transformation Realm. After working for quite a while, they only managed to kill a few puppets, which made them feel somewhat unwilling.
At this moment, Xuan Cang's face changed slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly shouted: "Star Guardian!"
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground.
The entire Baiyun City was like a strong earthquake of magnitude 10 or above. The buildings in the city shook in the tremors, and many fragile buildings began to collapse, with bricks, stones and rubble scattered all over the ground.
Hideous cracks also appeared on the ground, like wounds in the earth, spreading in all directions.
The dozens of trapped puppets exploded at the same time.
The huge explosion was deafening and echoed in the city like thunder.
Fortunately, Xuan Cang cast Star Guardian in time and added a Star Shield to withstand the horrific explosion.
Even so, a huge hole several thousand meters deep was blown out where the puppet was. The ground around the hole was shattered, and mud and rocks were flying everywhere.
If it weren't for Xuan Cang's star protection shield that forcibly changed the direction of the explosion and directed it towards the ground, the entire Baiyun City would probably have been razed to the ground in this explosion.
Thinking of this, Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he also understood why Mr. Shu Ba felt that the entire Baiyun City was full of danger. This method was really too cruel.
"Let's go! Go and kill him!"
Wang Bin's heart was burning with anger. He called out to Xuan Cang and rushed directly towards the place thirty miles away that Xuan Cang mentioned.
At this moment, he was on the verge of rage. He couldn't understand why his Baiyun City was almost destroyed.
If Master Shu Ba and Da Huang had not discovered it early, if Xuan Cang had not arrived in time, his Baiyun City would have been destroyed, and countless monks and mortals in the city would have been killed or injured.
Du Juan and the others are also likely to perish. No matter who the enemy is, they must die today!
Wang Bin used all his strength to activate the Purple Lightning Dragon Body, and his speed was as fast as lightning.
In a moment, he locked onto the enemy's position.
He was a middle-aged cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, standing quietly in the air, as if waiting for Wang Bin's arrival.
Various thoughts flashed through Wang Bin’s mind. Could this be an ambush set by the enemy?
Or is it a bait? Or does it have some other ulterior motive?
Despite all his doubts, Wang Bin's speed kept increasing. Two breaths later, he was already on the other side of the enemy.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk! True Lord Kuang Lei is indeed worthy of his reputation, his strength is even greater than the rumors say.
My masterpiece, the puppet with the strongest escape ability, the fastest speed, and the strongest ability to survive, is in your hands. It doesn't even stand a chance to fight back."
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Bin with a smile on his face and curiosity in his eyes. He looked Wang Bin up and down as if he was admiring a fine work of art.
Wang Bin instantly confirmed that the middle-aged monk in front of him was still a puppet.
He opened his Eye of Delusion and carefully surveyed the surroundings, while cautiously asking:
"Which faction do you belong to, fellow Daoist? We have no grudges against each other, right?
Moreover, there are so many low-level cultivators and innocent mortals in Baiyun City. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I don't know how many innocent people would have died today!"
"Don't look at me, my real body is not here, if those bastards die, they die, and it can also save some spiritual energy for the world of immortal cultivation.
I am the number one killer in the Soul Killing Hall, Shadow Taoist, you can also call me Puppet Master.
I prefer this name. In the entire world of cultivating immortals, I am the king of puppets!
This time I received the mission to kill you, but your improved communication formation is very much to my liking.
It can actually allow thousands or even tens of thousands of people to communicate at the same time, wow!
If I knew the secret, wouldn't I be able to control thousands or tens of thousands of puppets at the same time, hehe!
Hehehe! Just thinking about it makes me excited. Why didn’t I think of it before?
How about it? Just give me the blueprint for this communication formation.
I can guarantee that the Soul Slayer Hall will not accept assassination missions involving you from now on. Yes! This also includes missions from members of your Wang family.
Don't worry, although I'm not the Soul Slayer Hall Master, I believe the Hall Master will give me this face!"
Shadow Taoist stood in the air, talking to himself. It was unknown what good thing he had thought of. His eyes were empty and there was a crazy smile on his face.
When Wang Bin heard what Shadow Taoist said, he wanted to kill him with one punch.
However, he knew that Xuan Cang had not yet found the real body of the Shadow Taoist, and killing the puppet in front of him would be of no avail.
He also wanted to get some useful information from Shadow Taoist.
As for giving the other party the new communication array diagram, that is simply a pipe dream!
A guy like Ying Dao Ren, who couldn't even withstand a punch from him, actually dared to threaten him and his people.
However, Wang Bin had to admit that this Shadow Taoist was indeed a dangerous person. His puppetry was very powerful, and Wang Bin himself was also very interested in this technique.
"Shadow Taoist, right? It's not impossible, as long as you exchange your puppet-controlling skills for it.
How about that? By then, you'll be able to control thousands or tens of thousands of puppets simultaneously, and I'll be able to control just as many. We'll definitely make the art of puppetry famous throughout the world of immortal cultivation.
Let's see who will still look down on the puppet way from now on!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Shadow Taoist looked at Wang Bin as if he were a fool, and suddenly he burst into laughter. As he laughed, tears actually flowed down his face. This puppet looked just like the real thing.
"Are you trying to make me laugh to death? You want to use a communication array diagram to exchange for the Ten Thousand Puppet Controlling Divine Art that I painstakingly spent a thousand years to perfect? You are simply dreaming.
Your communication formation is nothing. I just didn’t think about it in this direction before.
Once I capture dozens of formation masters and lock them up, I guarantee they will be able to figure it out within twenty years.
City Lord Wang, I hope you will consider this carefully. We in the Soul-Killing Palace are not to be trifled with, unless the cultivators of your Wang family never leave Baiyun City!
I have to hand over the blueprints of the new communication formation, otherwise... hehehe! Hehehe... um..."
Suddenly, the puppet in front of him seemed to have frozen. Its mouth opened, but no sound came out. Its entire body lost its support and fell directly from the air into the woods below.
Wang Bin was just about to go over to check it out when the next moment his face changed drastically. He flashed and used instant steps to appear a thousand meters away. Then he used instant steps several times in a row and appeared ten miles away.
"Boom! Boom!"
The ground shook violently again, and the huge explosion made the air tremble.
The powerful explosion created a large crater several miles in radius on the ground. The surrounding soil and rocks were thrown high into the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
The shock wave generated by the explosion was like a hurricane, blowing down all the trees within dozens of miles around, and branches and leaves flying all over the sky.
Wang Bin stood in the wind, looking a little disheveled.
He cursed in his heart, this Taoist Shadow is simply a madman, he just blew himself up when he disagreed with something?
Or will this puppet explode if it loses control? Has Xuan Cang found his true form?
Just as Wang Bin was thinking, he suddenly heard a low cry:
"Space cage!"
As these words rang out, Wang Bin felt as if the space around him had solidified instantly. His entire body was fixed in place by an invisible force, unable to move.
Wang Bin raised his head and saw the figure of a young man in white slowly emerging in front of him. His eyes revealed a gentle aura...
